Check these pictures out. I searched high and low on GAF and didn't see these posted yet, but someone likely beat me to it anyways. But, here they are, looking very, very nice.

This game looks really good. The lighting, the grass, high poly characters - hundreds if not thousands on screen at once... (Orc battle is supposed to have over 3000) I can't wait to play it.

 

[Skin]

Lol, the horse stole Conkers tail. Looking good though!

Edit: I see wings too.

 

[DCX]

Holy mother of god!! That looks very interresting! Man...next gen is going to rock.

[FiRez]

that grass is awesome

 

[bridegur]

It looks really nice, but I don't think it looks like *that* much of a jump over the current best looking games.

 

[Operations]

The grass is beyond amazing

 

[radrelic]

Need to see it in motion, I'm not really overwhelmed by these pics.

 

[WordAssassin]

Apparently MS is really keen on releasing pictures from the Orc battle because there are so many things going on at once - but the regular adventure part of the game, from what I'm told, looks equally as good (if not a bit better, because it's brighter, there's less characters on the screen, etc).

Can't wait till November!

 

[Mama Smurf]

I'm pretty happy with that.

it's all about art...come on, every game next gen can't have the same REAL look to it...i mean if someone makes a Disney game you want Mickey with real mouse textures on his ears? I mean come on, use the tech to get the look you want and use other resoruces to make the expereince as real as possible within the look you want...i personally think it looks fantastic and there are alot of next gen touches...

I had pretty much written this game off as poo. Oh how wrong I was...

GRASS!!!!!!!!!!

and good looking grass too.

Exactly. This game does a shit ton of things just not possible on the Xbox. The grass, 3500 characters on screen at once, the lighting, self shadowing, the poly counts, the hair is VASTLY superior than what we saw in Conker and StarFox Adventures. (Wait till you guys see the abominable snowman character - WOW), the worlds are HUGE.

This game is gonna kick your ass if you like adventure/platforming games.

 

[BuckRobotron]

Very lush first shot, and the other shots also show more fiery/darker side of the game. Really looking forward to impressions about how it plays now, which has apparently been evolving in its own way as have the graphics.

 

[Skin]

Lol that helmet sure looks familiar...

 

[DCX]

GRASS!!!!!!!!!!

and good looking grass too.

I wonder if you can get the grass to burn and use that as a tactic to battle with?!?!? That would be truely a next gen thing to do...

[nextgeneration]

This looks pretty good. The one question I have is will the grass move and sway as the characters run through it?

The grass does move and sway, but I'm not sure if it reacts to Kameo or the other characters specifically. I think the taller grass does, but not the short grass like in that battle picture.

 

[Diffense]

Looks quite good.

I can't believe we've seen the same game on Gamecube, XBox and XBox360 hardware and it still hasn't been released.

 

[Kobun Heat]

Can't wait till November 2008!

fixed

 

[Mrbob]

GET THE KAMEO TEAM ON PERFECT DARK ZERO, STAT!

This looks fantastic.

 

[AtomicShroom]

I'm tired of websites posting 640x480 4:3 screenshots of what we well know will be 1280x720 16:9 games. They just don't do the games justice.

 

[TheDuce22]

Is this supposed to be a launch game?

 

[BigBoss]

Its a game from Rare, are you really that surprised?

Well, you can hold off buying it until November 2008. I'll be playing it this year, though.

Is this supposed to be a launch game?

Yes. Kameo will be there for the 360's launch this fall.

You were able to burn stands of trees down in Magic Carpet on 486 PCs about 10 yrs ago.

When did this become Kameo Under Fire: The Crusaders, again?

OMG GRASS

Yeah, I said the same thing.... in 2001. :/


I'm sure it will be pretty.. and have some creative gameplay. But I just can't understand why it takes 4-ever for Rare's stuff to get completed. RE4 took around 3+ year's to complete WITH drastic restarts in its design. ~4 to to get on a second platform. Rare's a huge company... but they don't seem to have the management to corrale them into geting games out in a reasonable time-frame. The chances of this game ever making a profit off its 5+ year development time are very low.

Is Microsoft banking on this being a luanch game?

 

[Ruas]

This is next generation.

 

[GhaleonEB]

Damn. If this, PD0 (the new shots look great), Project Gotham 3 and others all hit at launch....wow.

RE4 took 3+ years with four completely different engines and builds being built. :lol

Wasn't Kameo originally an N64 game? I swear it was announced somewhere around 1999 or 2000 for the N64, then moved to the GC a few months later.

 

[shpankey]

damn, some of those look fantastic.

Platform hops are a bitch. See also: Halo - Mac --> PC --> XBox

 

[Ranger X]

ok.... sometimes Kameo (well, the girl, whatever the name) is having wings and sometimes she doesn't...
Power-up??

Nice art + nice grass = sales +1

You allow RE4 the same reasons of delay that Kameo had, yet complain about Kameo. It has switched platforms twice and undergone gameplay revisions at least once, most likely more than once from what I have seen and heard. It is a very, very different game then it started out as.

Also, yes Rare is a huge company, but it's a huge company comprised of many smaller teams.

And yes, for the last time! Kameo will launch with the 360 this fall. Jeeze. The game is nearly finished, they're just polishing up the graphics and fine-tuning the gameplay.

 

[Madrin]

It looks really nice, but I don't think it looks like *that* much of a jump over the current best looking games.

I agree, but look at all the GRASS!!!

RE4 was not delayed. 3 Years seems a reasonable timeframe for making a game. Not 5.

 

[Azure Dream]

*squint* Arse crack? (No, not the horse...)

Looking really nice, though. I think I'm going to have to pick this one up.

 

[olimario]

Nice grass, but it still doesn't seem next gen to me. Seems like BC with more characters on screen.

 

[Macam]

As far as I can recall it began as a GameCube game. Nintendo had a playable version of it in their booth at E3 2001 back when it was more akin to a bare bones Black & White. From what I recall of playing it, it had about 2 gameplay scenarios, although the only one I can remember is turning into something like a flying cricket and summoning a pair of gigantic monsters to beat on a few enemies.

 

[Neutron Night]

Suddenly this has gone from nothing to one of my most anticpated Xbox360 games. I'll definately be buying this at launch. That IS next gen graphics.

It looks really nice, but I don't think it looks like *that* much of a jump over the current best looking games.

WTF? Please. Xbox would probably choke on about 50 of those guys. 3000? Jesus.

I'm tired of websites posting 640x480 4:3 screenshots of what we well know will be 1280x720 16:9 games. They just don't do the games justice.

No, I'd rather like to know what it will look like on my TV. I need to know that these games won't just assume you have a HDTV.

 

[Ranger X]

The game looks like a "present gen enhanced for next-gen". It looks good, it looks better than the present gen but we will see games that looks ALOT better than this one.

 

[super-heated plasma]

For a game thats supoosed to have 3000 characters on screen, that is a most impressive display of graphical power.

XBOX 1.5 indeed.

 

[GhaleonEB]

RE4 was not delayed. 3 Years seems a reasonable timeframe for making a game. Not 5.

RE4 didn't change platforms mid-development, either.

 

[WordAssassin]

I can play that game too. Kameo was never delayed either. You can't delay a game if it never has a release date.

Also, to get technical right back at you, I would call not only shifting platforms but also changing the gameplay twice a pretty fucking huge production delay for RE4. It doesn't matter if it never had a release date, it was delayed.

*squint* Arse crack? (No, not the horse...)

 

[Pedigree Chum]

Best shot by far IMO. Looks amazing.

I kinda wish that Conker made the move to X360. There'd better at least be a sequel on X360.

 

[Doogdogg]

Nice grass, but it still doesn't seem next gen to me. Seems like BC with more characters on screen.

Next gen 1st gen graphics bitch!
